Curvature Bounds by Isoperimetric Comparison for Normalized Ricci Flow on the Two-sphere
نویسندگان
چکیده
We prove a comparison theorem for the isoperimetric profiles of solutions of the normalized Ricci flow on the two-sphere: If the isoperimetric profile of the initial metric is greater than that of some positively curved axisymmetric metric, then the inequality remains true for the isoperimetric profiles of the evolved metrics. We apply this using the Rosenau solution as the model metric to deduce sharp time-dependent curvature bounds for arbitrary solutions of the normalized Ricci flow on the two-sphere. This gives a simple and direct proof of convergence to a constant curvature metric without use of any blowup or compactness arguments, Harnack estimates, or any classification of behaviour near singularities.

Sharp and Rigid Isoperimetric Inequalities in Metric-measure Spaces with Lower Ricci Curvature Bounds
We prove that if (X, d,m) is a metric measure space with m(X) = 1 having (in a synthetic sense) Ricci curvature bounded from below by K > 0 and dimension bounded above by N ∈ [1,∞), then the classic Lévy-Gromov isoperimetric inequality (together with the recent sharpening counterparts proved in the smooth setting by E. Milman for any K ∈ R, N ≥ 1 and upper diameter bounds) hold, i.e. the isoper...
متن کاملEvolution of the first eigenvalue of buckling problem on Riemannian manifold under Ricci flow
Among the eigenvalue problems of the Laplacian, the biharmonic operator eigenvalue problems are interesting projects because these problems root in physics and geometric analysis. The buckling problem is one of the most important problems in physics, and many studies have been done by the researchers about the solution and the estimate of its eigenvalue. In this paper, first, we obtain the evol...
متن کاملRicci Yang-mills Flow on Surfaces
Abstract. We study the behaviour of the Ricci Yang-Mills flow for U(1) bundles on surfaces. We show that existence for the flow reduces to a bound on the isoperimetric constant. In the presence of such a bound, we show that on S, if the bundle is nontrivial, the flow exists for all time. For higher genus surfaces the flow always exists for all time. The volume normalized flow always exists for ...
متن کاملCurvature Bound for Curve Shortening Flow via Distance Comparison and a Direct Proof of Grayson’s Theorem
Abstract. A new isoperimetric estimate is proved for embedded closed curves evolving by curve shortening flow, normalized to have total length 2π. The estimate bounds the length of any chord from below in terms of the arc length between its endpoints and elapsed time. Applying the estimate to short segments we deduce directly that the maximum curvature decays exponentially to 1. This gives a se...
متن کاملFe b 20 09 Space of Ricci flows ( I )
In this paper, we study the moduli spaces of noncollapsed Ricci flow solutions with bounded energy and scalar curvature. We show a weak compactness theorem for such moduli spaces and apply it to study isoperimetric constant control, Kähler Ricci flow and moduli space of gradient shrinking solitons.
